Benefits of Long-term Forklift Rental in the Philippines

In the bustling industrial landscape of the Philippines, businesses often face challenges when it comes to managing their forklift fleet effectively. Uncertain fleet size, existing lease contracts, short-term feasibility, frequent breakdowns, and complex contract management can impede operational efficiency and increase costs. However, these concerns can be effectively addressed through long-term forklift rental solutions. In this article, we will explore the benefits of long-term forklift rental and how it can provide an ideal solution for businesses in the Philippines.

6 Benefits of Long-Term Forklift Rental from MAYON:
1# Dramatically Reduce Forklift Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

One of the significant advantages of long-term forklift rental, particularly with maintenance included, is the reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO). By opting for a fixed monthly rental fee that covers maintenance, businesses can accurately forecast and allocate their budgets. This eliminates unexpected repair and maintenance costs that often arise with owning or short-term renting forklifts.

2# Fixed Maintenance Cost

Maintenance costs can quickly add up, especially when forklifts experience frequent breakdowns. With long-term forklift rental agreements that include maintenance, businesses can enjoy the benefits of a fixed maintenance cost. This helps in better financial planning, reduces downtime due to unexpected repairs, and ensures that the forklifts are well-maintained and in optimal working condition.

3# Short-term Rental Flexibility

While long-term rental offers stability, it doesn’t mean businesses are locked into rigid contracts. Reputable forklift rental companies, like MAYON, provide flexible rental terms that can be tailored to specific needs. This allows businesses to adjust their fleet size as required, adding or reducing the number of forklifts based on the fluctuating demands of their operations.

4# Enhanced Safety Measures

At MAYON, safety is utmost our priority. Our rental fleet is well-maintained, equipped with modern safety features, and regularly inspected to ensure compliance with safety standards. By opting for long-term rental, businesses can access forklifts that adhere to strict safety regulations, reducing the risk of accidents and improving workplace safety.

5# Avoid Capitalizing Assets

For many businesses, tying up capital in purchasing forklifts may not be the most financially prudent decision. Long-term forklift rental allows businesses to avoid capitalizing assets, freeing up capital for other essential investments or operational expenses. This provides more financial flexibility and agility to adapt to market changes and seize growth opportunities.

6# Elimination of Expensive Machine Purchases

With long-term forklift rental, businesses can avoid the expense of purchasing forklifts outright. This is particularly advantageous for businesses with limited financial resources or those operating in industries with significant fluctuations between busy and off-peak periods. By renting forklifts as needed, businesses can maintain an optimal fleet size without the burden of excessive capital expenditure.

Tips To Choose The Best Bucket For Your Compact Loaders

When it comes to choosing the best bucket for your compact loaders, there are several factors to consider. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:

1 – Consider the size:

The size of the bucket you choose will depend on the size of your compact loader and the type of work you will be doing. Larger buckets are ideal for heavy-duty tasks, while smaller buckets are better suited for lighter jobs.

FOR LIGHTER-DUTY JOBS:

GENERAL PURPOSE AND DIRT BUCKETS

For daily use with smaller compact loaders or occasional use on some of larger machines, you can’t beat the versatility of general-purpose and dirt buckets. The skid-bar design provides wear protection to the bucket bottom, backs up the cutting edge, and adds strength to the bottom of the bucket. A flat back on the bucket exterior provides a secure mount for quick-attachment systems such as Bob-Tach® system or All-Tach™. A round back inside the bucket enhances loading and cleaning out. A replaceable high-carbon steel cutting edge provides a long bucket life.

GENERAL PURPOSE BUCKET
Bobcat General Purpose Bucket

The standard bucket for compact machines and a good choice for low-hour users on some larger loaders. General-purpose buckets are ideal for light-duty grading and leveling applications as well as material handling.

  • Similar to dirt bucket with a longer bottom
  • Perfect for light-duty grading, leveling, and material handling
  • Excellent cutting-edge visibility
  • Good bucket breakout force
BUCKET, DIRT

The standard bucket on smaller compact loaders. Designed specifically for digging and moving dirt, gravel, and other loose materials. They typically have a flat bottom and straight sides that provide maximum cutting and digging power.

  • Similar to general purpose bucket, but with a shorter bottom and low back
  • Fair cutting-edge visibility
  • Excellent bucket breakout force

FOR HEAVY-DUTY JOBS:

CONSTRUCTION/ INDUSTRIAL AND LOW-PROFILE BUCKETS

With more durability for your toughest jobs, nothing provides longer wear in extreme applications. It’s designed for handling heavy materials and performing digging and earthmoving tasks. Gehl C/I buckets generally have a more curved profile, while Bobcat C/I buckets tend to have a more angled profile. The design can affect the bucket’s digging and earthmoving performance and may be preferred based on personal preference or specific job requirements.

BUCKET, CONSTRUCTION/ INDUSTRIAL (C/ I)

The standard for performance and strength.

  • Highest breakout forces
  • Good cutting-edge visibility
  • Shorter bottom and less capacity
BUCKET, LOW-PROFILE

These the most popular low-profile buckets are ideal for grading, leveling, carrying, loading, and other material handling.

  • Good breakout force
  • Excellent cutting-edge visibility
  • Similar to the C/I bucket, but with slightly longer bottom for better visibility and increased capacity
BUCKET, HEAVY-/SEVERE-DUTY CONSTRUCTION/ INDUSTRIAL (C/ I)

Designed for larger skid loaders and compact track loaders. These buckets are built even stronger than C/I and low-profile buckets. While Heavy-Duty Construction/Industrial buckets typically feature thicker steel construction, reinforced bucket bottoms, and wear-resistant cutting edges for use in demanding construction and industrial applications. Severe-Duty Construction/Industrial buckets are even more rugged and durable than heavy-duty buckets and are designed for use in extreme conditions such as demolition, quarrying, and mining.

  • More capacity than C/I or low-profile buckets
  • Double-walled top crossmember
  • Stronger mounting frame
  • Higher back and longer bottom
  • Thicker and taller side cutting edges

SPECIALTY BUCKETS:

FERTILIZER AND GRAIN BUCKETS

When choosing a fertilizer or grain bucket for a compact loader, it’s important to consider the specific agricultural materials being handled and any specific requirements for the job. For example, if handling corrosive fertilizers, a bucket with a corrosion-resistant coating may be necessary to prevent damage and prolong the bucket’s lifespan. Similarly, if handling delicate grain or feed, a bucket with a smooth interior and larger capacity may be preferable.

  • Move large volumes of granular material
  • Minimum spillage over the front edge thanks to an increased rollback feature
SNOW AND LIGHT MATERIAL BUCKETS

Gehl Snow and Light Material buckets can hold slightly more material than the Bobcat buckets due to having a slightly more curved design, which may make them more efficient for scooping and dumping materials. While the Gehl buckets may have a slight advantage in terms of capacity and durability, the Bobcat buckets may offer more versatility with their universal mounting system.

  • Ideal for handling large, low-density materials
  • Large-capacity buckets with a high-back design
  • Sizes range from 1562 to 2578 mm wide
ROCK BUCKETS

Rock buckets are heavy-duty attachments ideal for picking up stones and large awkward debris. This kind of bucket is a “must-have” for skid steer operators in the agricultural, commercial, and landscaping industries.

  • Skeletal design collects rocks while leaving soil behind
  • Models ranging from 1549 to 2223 mm wide
2 – Choose the right material:

Buckets are available in a variety of materials such as steel, aluminum, and composite. Steel buckets are more durable and ideal for heavy-duty work, while aluminum buckets are lightweight and easier to handle.

3 – Think about the shape:

The shape of the bucket can affect its performance. A wider bucket will have a larger capacity and will be better for moving loose materials such as gravel and sand. A narrower bucket will be better for digging and excavating.

4 – Consider the teeth or cutting edge:

Some buckets come with teeth that can help you dig into hard ground or break up tough material. If you will be doing a lot of digging or excavation work, a bucket with teeth may be a good choice.

5 – Look for versatility:

Some buckets are designed to be used for multiple purposes, such as grading, leveling, digging, and grappling. If you need a bucket that can handle a variety of tasks, look for one that is versatile, for example, 4-in-1 a combination bucket.

  • Bolt-on corner cutting edges to protect the corners of your bucket; reversible.
  • Reinforced bucket bottom and clamshell improve strength and rigidity.
  • Interlocking serrated grapple edges to hold objects securely – even heavy or odd-shaped materials.
6 – Consider the price:

The cost of the bucket will depend on its size, material, and features. Choose a bucket that fits your budget but don’t compromise on quality.

By considering these factors, you can choose the best bucket for your compact loader that will meet your needs and help you get the job done efficiently. If you’re still unable to select the right bucket, please consult our team at Mayon Machinery to get the best one for your application.

Spider Lifts To Overcome Challenges In Working Aloft Inside And Out

Airport, stadium, and arena maintenance projects create challenging scenarios for working aloft, be it reaching high lighting, HVAC systems on a second-floor mezzanine, or needing the capability to set up on a steep pedestrian ramp to clean facades or fixtures. TEUPEN’s Spider Lifts can be the right choice due to its exceptional work profile, self-leveling capability, and low floor loadings provide an efficient and non-disruptive solution to these challenges. In addition, its compact travel size and small footprint allow for the completion of work with very limited or no disruption to customer traffic flows.

Today, we would like to introduce LEO30Tplus – a popular spider lift that has been awarded for product innovation and is ideal for tackling difficult-to-reach areas such as unusually shaped facades, glass atriums, and other indoor and outdoor open spaces.

LEO30Tplus – Product Innovation
Teupen LEO30Tplus – Product Innovation (MEWPs over 20 feet~ 6m) by ALH Award winner

“It is a huge factor that the boom sections auto-grease for maintenance. Working indoors through a double door with a capacity of 882 pounds (~400kg) at 98 feet (~30m) is extremely impressive” – TEUPEN North America says.

Known as the LEOTplus, this machine includes a radio remote control with a two-line display, which shows the fuel tank indicator, as well as platform capacity, live load while lifting (as an option), and the load limit shown as a percentage %. The radio remote control is also equipped with the start/stop device.

The standard features of the LEOTplus family are electric emergency lowering with the manufacturer’s 1-2-3 principle and a swivel function over narrow set outriggers.

The LEO’s cushioned, load-dispersing tracks and low surface loads relieve the impact of taking a 4.2 t machine, although comparatively light, onto the easily damaged substrates.

You can track the LEO over the mat without any worries about damage. The LEO30T exerts a surface load of less than 2.0 kN/m2 is below the modern floor design limit of 5.0 kN/m2.

Additional options include four different platform sizes, from 0.9m to 2m, a crane hook, and more safety devices among others.

LEO30Tplus is powered by a 21.6hp, Kubota diesel engine and comes standard with a 230V, 12,9 A alternating current electric motor for use indoors. There is also an option to order the unit with an 80V DC battery drive in lieu of the diesel engine.

Safe positioning even with little space: the multi-position stabilizer system permits to automatically set up the machine in confined areas and on slopes. It offers three different setup positions: both sides wide, one side wide, and one side narrow or both sides narrow. In terrain or over obstacles the stabilizers overcome a height difference of 1,20 m.

In the standard configuration, the LEO30Tplus is equipped with a hydraulically height- and width-adjustable track drive at a touch of a button. The narrow setting decreases the width of the machine; in the wide setting, it increases ground clearance and stability. Also, levelled driving alongside slopes is possible.

The advanced crawler chassis adjustment enables
to work in areas with limited access!

Lastly, self-centering boom profile and octagonal sections with castors guarantee smooth telescoping operations without sliding friction and minimal maintenance needs.

LEO30Tplus is the longstanding Flagship model of the Teupen line. It can meet every unique requirement of the job at height up to 30m which would never have been possible with traditional lifts.

We, Mayon Machinery, are here to assist in specifying the right machine for your project and professional after-sales service across the Philippines.
